  • The Design of SWEsters Mentorship Program for First-Year Engineering Student Success

    Creator:
    Thompson, Tatiana A.
    Abstract:
    In order to support first-year women in engineering, a program was designed to help their transition to college and promote connection with other women. The program focused on three main areas based in research: mentor matching with mentee input, regular formal meetings in small mentoring groups, and the formation of...

  • WebModeler: Modeling Human Hunting Induced Mammal Depletion in the Web

    Creator:
    Thenell, Tasman
    Abstract:
    The Amazon basin is a natural wonder of biodiversity that serves as one of the largest single carbon storage mechanisms in the world. For these reasons, preserving the Amazon and other similar forests is a worthy goal. Protecting these spaces is not possible without understanding the threats facing animal populations...

  • Comparing Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction Techniques Using pyMARS

    Creator:
    Mestas, Phillip O., III
    Abstract:
    Accurately modeling the chemistry of conventional and alternative liquid transportation fuels in combustion technology is vital to predicting important quantities such as the burning rate, heat release, and pollutant emissions. However, incorporating detailed chemical kinetic models into reactive-flow simulations poses a significant challenge due to the associated high computational expense...

  • Connecting computational thinking and mathematics: an examination of linguistic opportunities and challenges

    Creator:
    Glickman, Abbie A.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, I used a linguistic lens of translanguaging and semiotics to examine how K-12 mathematics teacher candidates (TCs) create meaning around computer science (CS) and mathematics concepts in a computational thinking (CT) setting. I defined the term “disciplinary repertoire” as a mirror to the concept of a linguistic...

  • Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Teaching Inclusive Design

    Creator:
    Oleson, Alannah L.
    Abstract:
    Inclusive design is important in today's software industry, but there is little research about how to teach it. In collaboration with 9 teacher-researchers across 8 U.S. universities and more than 400 computer and information science students, we embarked upon an Action Research investigation to gather insights into the pedagogical content...

  • Open, online, interactive visualizations for learning about Gaussian mixture models

    Creator:
    Allen, Stuart
    Abstract:
    We construct a website to explain how Gaussian mixture models can be optimized using the expectation maximization algorithm. Previous free, online material on this process has been extremely limited. All sources surveyed failed to entirely describe our identified criteria for an in-depth description and useful visualizations. After surveying a variety...

  • Participant Learning and Understanding within HWeekend Events

    Creator:
    Handley, Quinn M.
    Abstract:
    Hardware weekend (HWeekend) is a free 30-hour hardware development event sponsored by the College of Engineering, College of Business, and Inventors Enterprise wherein students work together in small teams to create a marketable project they can demonstrate and pitch to judges at the end of the weekend. Unlike similar events,...

  • An Analysis of the Effectiveness of an Online Inclusive Design Curriculum Through the Lens of Inclusive Design PCKs

    Creator:
    Vellanki, Aishwarya
    Abstract:
    The online computer science classroom is growing, but there is little research on how to teach inclusive design online. As a result, online CS students are graduating without learning how to avoid bias in their software designs. Through the lens of the Inclusive Design Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), this thesis...

  • Hearing Inequality: A Sonification of the Gender Disparity in Computer Science and Engineering

    Creator:
    Cohen, Elyse
    Abstract:
    Sonification, or the “technique of rendering sound in response to data and interactions” [1], is an alternative to visual graphs and has the potential to make data more interpretable and accessible. As a combination of the arts (music) and the sciences (data), sonification is an interdisciplinary tool for connecting people...
